About UK gallons per minute

The UK (imperial) gallon per minute (gpm) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/60 ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s, historically used in British plumbing design, pump curves, and water-treatment plant sizing. Pre-metric UK water-industry capacity tables and pump manufacturers quoted flows in UK gal/min; legacy British Standard BS EN pump curves often show both units. 1 UK gpm ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 4.546 L/min.

About Cubic inches per hour

The cubic inch per hour (in³/h) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/3600 ≈ 4.552×10⁻⁹ m³/s, appearing in US oilfield plunger-pump capacity datasheets and slow hydraulic-actuator specifications. It is also used in US ASTM leak-test standards where maximum allowable leakage past a valve seal is expressed in in³/h at rated pressure. 1 in³/h ≈ 4.552×10⁻⁹ m³/s.
